JEC Group have brought toge­ther the international community of composites leaders and executives in our Composites Circle as an unique networking opportunity to meet with both peers and future partners.

From baseball and hockey to golf, tennis, and cycling, Composites for Performance in Sports is the first international conference bringing forward all the latest composite technologies from the Sports and Recreation fields.

Co-organized by JEC Group and SPE, these two-days of conferences are a unique opportunity to discuss and learn more about the innovative applications composites offer.

Take part in JEC World, the leading international show for composites and advanced materials.

More than just an exhibition, JEC World provides a world-class opportunity to meet the right people through our planned events and additional programs, including : B2B meetings, Conferences & Presentations, Innovation planets, Startup Booster, Innovation Awards, Leadership Circle.

Dive into JEC World 2018 universe for a 360° view of the global composites industry!

The world of composites is young, dynamic and quickly growing into a vast range of segments, markets, applications and technologies.

To learn more about it, JEC Group proposes a wide range of publications that will allow you to learn all about the trends and forecasts of the composites industry, and about the key players from the sector.

JEC Group has published a new book « Overview of the global composites market - at the crossroads ». An in-depth analysis of the composites market and the materials’ potential, the book also highlights the challenges that lie ahead in the sector.

The industry sectors, users of non-renewable fibers, are now engaged in an eco-design approach. Structured to meet the demand of the Industry, JEC Group, the CELC’s European Scientific Committee and its industry’s R&D teams coordinated the first scientific book about the composite solutions natural fibers. « Flax and Hemp, a natural solution for the composite industry ».

Danish company produces high-tech lightweight-chassis

News International-French

The start-up ECOmove has developed a technology making it possible to manufacture an ultra-lightweight carbon-fibre-chassis, without using special equipment.

ECOmove, a Danish company within e-mobility, has constructed a high-tech lightweight-chassis in carbon-fibre (an accomplishment previously reserved for larger car and sports car manufacturers). The entrepreneurial company has just delivered a chassis that fits into an existing vehicle to a German company.

The greatest challenge for most electrical car manufacturers is to increase the overall range. One solution is to decrease the overall weight of the car, hereby reducing the energy consumption. The company has acquired extensive knowledge and competences in manufacturing lightweight-chassis for electrical cars, which can help reduce the total weight. They design, construct and manufacture lightweight-chassis in composite materials at their Vehicle Lab in Vitus Bering Innovation Park in Horsens – all without using expensive tooling and special equipment, explains Mogens Løkke, CEO at ECOmove.

The first unit has already been delivered to the German company TURN-E, who works with electrification of cars and boats.

The company has just delivered a lightweight-chassis to a 356 Speedster replica, making it possible to install a battery capacity for a range of more than 500 kilometres. The chassis also improves the stability and strength of the car compared to the original chassis. They furthermore integrated their patented suspension and air-shock-absorbers, improving the vehicles overall driving dynamics, explains Mogens Løkke.

ECOmove cooperated with VIA University College in terms of the initial 3D-scan and strength modelling of the chassis.

Cutting-edge technologyThe technology bears the name Qstrung and focuses on a rapid process from idea to prototype.

According to Mikkel Steen Pedersen, Development Manager at ECOmove, the new method is suitable for both prototyping and volume production. The short production time combined with an attractive material-cost per unit provides interesting perspectives – also for larger vehicle manufacturers.

A technology with perspectivesThe e-mobility company sees a great potential in the new way of manufacturing lightweight-chassis. The German company TURN-E wanted to showcase their competences within electric vehicle conversion, and found a partner in ECOmove.
